Not even a week and the riots have started. I can sympathize with those who PEACEFULLY protest, but when you start attacking people physically and destroying property you lose my sympathy. Violence and hate is not the answer. I understand that people are afraid of what the future holds, however I must ask….where was the outrage when the DNC was outed for sabotaging Bernie Sanders campaign? Where were the Days of Rage then? The system has always been rigged no matter who won. It does not matter if you do not like nor voted for Trump he is our President. These are the same words of wisdom stated by Liberals as a counter for those who didn’t want to accept Barack Obama as our President. However, now it’s different. Now it’s civil unrest for a process that hasn’t changed in over 200 years.

A Peaceful anti-Trump Protest

Word of advice, do something about the Democratic Party or, here’s a better idea, get a Third Party out of obscurity and into the light. Did you know that had more people voted Jill Stein she f she had received at least 5% of the votes it would’ve entitled the Green Party $10 million and recognition as a valid opposing party. But no, both Democrats and Republicans came together and shouted down those who supported Third Party candidates as “waste of votes” and told us to “vote for the lesser evil”. Looks like those mind sets really did you pro-mainstream parties well. Nicely done….thanks.

To those protesting peacefully and with compassion in your heart for your fellow American, I support you and applaud you. To those destroying property and hurt people, I don’t support you. You hurt the movement and make all valid points and arguments invalid with hate and violence.

Let the revolution be a revolution based on love for our fellow human being and American and not hate directed at those who oppose our ideas. Hatred only leads to fascism.

This isn’t about the genetic condition of colorblindness, but rather not acknowledging the importance of ones melanin content of their flesh. Today, being colorblind is somehow akin to denying the existence of racism in America, which is just a bullshit excuse to keep racialism alive and well in the country.

I was raised colorblind and it was quite effective. The idea of “black” and “white” didn’t mean jack shit to me. It made no sense to apply color to a human being. I hung out with “black” kids, “white” kids and even a half Native American kid without ever a thought coming to my mind about how different they were to me. In my mind, they weren’t different. They were kids like me who wanted to have fun and that was it. It wasn’t until high school did the racialist agenda get packed into my skull. Race became important to acknowledge and bow down to. My colorblindness was cast away for awhile as the education system re-educated me on what race meant to others who weren’t lucky enough to escape the shackles of racialism.

Racialism are the shackles that keep us human beings subservient to the ruling elite. It keeps us thoroughly divided without ever truly uniting against the common enemy we all have: the oligarchy. The oligarchy is comprised of the Democrat and Republican parties. Despite their differences on the surface, beneath the exterior of benevolence lies the beating heart of a dark hydra (two heads, same body) that push the racialist agenda onto their constituents. If power comes from unity then the idea of keeping us divided along racial lines is important to the two party oligarchy that seek to rule over us instead of working for us, which is the way it’s supposed to be.

There are those racialists who keep the lie alive by stating that being colorblind is false and denies racism. Being colorblind does not deny racism especially since we live in a racialist society. Anyone who denies that racism exists from all sides of our society are delusional. However, being colorblind and denying the existence of race is the first step in defeating racism. By keeping race alive it keeps us divided along those lines which in turn keeps racism thriving in the deep, dark depths known white nationalism, black nationalism, hispanic nationalism…etc. In order to bring down these walls of separation we have to acknowledge the fact that race doesn’t exist and is simply a byproduct of evolution and nothing more. The melanin content of our skin does not make us any better or any worse than someone with a different melanin skin content. Once we become educated on the facts will we then finally unite as human beings.

Watching the insanity of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz dealing with the fallout of her comments on Bernie Sanders and the disunity at the RNC last week, what we’re witnessing is (FINALLY) the fracturing of the two parties dominance over American politics. Since I’ve been politically active I’ve never seen such deep fissures develop within the two major parties. I celebrate these developing fissures because it finally allows for the seeds of Third Parties to take root and grow through. So far, it seems that the Libertarian and Green parties may be able to finally develop momentum to progress and start taking seats of power in DC.

With the apparent sabotage of Bernie Sanders campaign by his own party perhaps we can see him break away from the Democratic Party and take up the reigns of another party that is willing to allow him to do his work in the way he wants to. What happened to Bernie Sanders was the act of a party willing to be tyrannical and unfair in its dealings with those whom they don’t agree with. Bernie Sanders was right from the get go, that the system is rigged and he was the victim of a rigged system within his own party, the Democratic Party.

Ted Cruz, I wonder if he too was the victim of the rigged system within the Republican Party? It would only make sense for the ascension of that Prince of Clowns Donald Trump. Ted Cruz has the integrity to not bow down at the feet of Trump like all of the other fools in Jester Trumps court did at the RNC last week. However, people have called into question the political future of Ted Cruz within the Republican Party. That should concern Ted Cruz very much and should get the gears turning in his head whether or not he should jump off the sinking Republican ship and find a Third Party lifeboat waiting for him nearby.

As centrist I would rather be having an election between Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders. Such an election would make it difficult to figure whom I’ll vote for, but I’d rather have that than having the option of Criminal Hillary or Criminal Trump. The current two choices just make me want to write in George Carlins name rather than have to vote for the Democrat or Republican criminal.

Yes, I relish the deep fissures within both the Democrat and Republican parties because their power over American politics will begin (hopefully) to wane allowing for a Third Party to take up the challenge of leadership in America. A true democracy doesn’t have you choosing trash over garbage. A true democracy allows the trash, garbage and fresh to campaign for leadership. So let both parties fall apart, don’t try to mend them. They must understand that they can’t hold power forever and that eventually their tyranny can end allowing a Third Party into DC.

Having read an article talking about white, hetero, male, cis {add whatever stupid label you wish} privilege, I thought the privilege that ALL Americans share which is First World Privilege. Yes, First World Privilege, the privilege shared by those of all faiths, creeds, color, socio-economic class, gender, orientation and so forth, to complain about their lives being “oppressed” (while not suffering the consequences of what a truly oppressed civilization and people endure, I mean just ask a North Korean or a citizen of Eritrea). An oppressed, truly oppressed, nation and people do not enjoy such privilege. Lets also tack on the access to the plethora of available high tech gadgets such as cellphones, computers, gaming consoles, flat screen TVs and such. A poor nation does not have this privilege. Most citizens in poor countries barely have running water let alone access to the internet.

So, next time someone wants to lecture others on their supposed privilege remember, remember to check your First World Privilege.

This goes Right and Left, none of you are oppressed….except in your minds.

As always, I don’t follow any political ideology or party line. In 2008 voted for Obama. In 2012 voted for Mitt Romney. Now, in 2016, if they receive the nomination, I’ll probably be voting for Bernie Sanders. Yes, he’s a socialist, but at least he has the balls to admit it. People commend Trump for his outspoken trait, but yet no one tends to say, “Well, Bernie is open about his socialism so that’s honesty to admire.” No instead he’s blasted about it. I disagree with socialism on a few issues, but if someone can open and honest about it one has to wonder what else that person can be open about. Will he give us a TRULY open government that actually gives a damn about the voice of the people or will he be another champagne socialist like Obama who is constantly on vacation like Bush was? That’s why I’ll do for Bernie what I did for Obama, give him 4 years to prove himself. If he doesn’t, well my vote goes to whomever I believe to be able to get the job done.

The coming socialist revolution will establish universal high-quality education, placing the wondrous power of modern technology at the feet of the people and allowing it to be used according a democratic plan in the interests of all. This revolution will be the negation of all traditional faiths and superstitious rituals, as people voluntarily drift away from these, on the basis of material wealth and security, available for the first time to everyone.

That’s a bold statement to make considering that in most cases becoming religious or spiritual isn’t because a lack of security and/or material wealth, but rather the emptiness produced by being solely reliant on such. This is one classic example of the ignorance shown by Marxists in general, they believe that once people are “happy”, within a materialistic and superficial paradigm, that religion will disappear. Well, Christians believed this very same thing when they converted our ancestors from paganism to Christianity, that once the light of Christ entered the souls of the pagan that “happiness” would become more common place in society. However, with the resurgence of paganism, especially in Iceland a country that should be, by all means in the realm of socialism, “happy”, but somethings missing apparently that Iceland is the first nation in over a thousand years to build a pagan temple to the old Norse Gods. Scandinavian socialism is held in such high regard by socialists in the West, so shouldn’t the Marxist hypothesis be true in this respect? Seems like the hypothesis is null and void because for a nation to be abundant and accepting enough to allow a pagan temple to be built shows that religion will never die out no matter how much the Marxists want their ideology to be held in sacrosanct.

I’m coming from this as someone highly into the sciences and currently attending college for a Biotechnology degree, so to assume because I believe in multiple Gods doesn’t mean I’m an ignorant simpleton. In fact, the director of the National Health Institute and leader of the Human Genome Project, Francis Collins, is a Christian, though not a Creationist Christian, but a Christian who believes in Yahweh and Jesus Christ. I seriously doubt this man would’ve been allowed to conduct such an important project if he were simply a feeble minded, Dark Age mystic. Another example is my father, another Evolutionist Christian, who most likely has a genius IQ with all the things he DIYed and the problem solving skills shown. However, Marxists would figure him to be a superstitious dolt.

RaceWithin much of the Leftist spectrum is a tendency to be shameful of the actions of their ancestors, which is called “white guilt”. I find this trend to be ridiculous and a sign of a weak mind. Since Lizzy Borden is my distant relative, should I feel shameful for her acts of violence? Gods no! Why would I since I wasn’t even born then? So it must be asked why white Leftists should shame and induce shameful feelings within other white people about actions they themselves had no hand nor control over? No one should have any shame for what their ancestors did, because there is nothing you can do to change the past. The past is an immovable mountain, however the present and future is quite malleable. You affect change now instead of wasting your time feeling guilty for the past that you had no hand in. One of those discussions we need is the discussion that eliminates the idea of melanin based racial labels and viewing all people as what they really are: The Human Race. However, Marxists still enjoy dividing people up into small, easily controlled parcels of human beings in order to better control their attempt at social engineering. It’s the same tactic used by the two major parties in power in America today, the Democrats and Republicans. In order to keep absolute power the people must be absolutely divided.

ConclusionI used to be a Marxist years ago and I have no regrets. After all, it helped me formulate my slight socialist with a libertarian edge ideology. I consider myself patriotic in regards to my country and I support the Constitution. It’s perhaps one of the most perfect documents outlining our freedoms these days. I support the 2nd Amendment to the point where I believe open carry should be allowed. Though I would prefer a battle axe to a gun, but to each their own. I support states rights and a decentralized form of government, meaning that the Federal Government interferes as little as possible with what states and their population vote and decide for themselves. I support gay marriage and gay adoption. I don’t see anything repulsive about this. I support Universal Healthcare, which I think can still be decided by states to implement or not without the Federal government. I’m neutral on abortion. I have my reasons, but I’ll keep them to myself. I believe in absolute religious freedom which extends to businesses as well. If a business wishes to not patronize a certain group of people, that’s their right. However, they must not whine about the loss of profits due to their decision. This of course goes beyond Christian businesses, but also other religiously based businesses such as pagan ones who wouldn’t want to patronize Christians or other monotheists. I’m pro-animal rights and pro-environment, obviously.

That’s just a few things where no one can truly pinpoint my ideology, which I think if anyone follows one ideology to the T, then it’s nothing more than ignorance. I believe both sides of the political spectrum have something to contribute to our political system. Whether socialism or capitalism wins out for absolute control of a country it’s simply totalitarianism.

After so many years of indulging in the absolute insanity that is political discussions I am ditching any and all allegiance to any single political party and ideology. Both contribute to the downfall of humanity and the dehumanization of people in whole. It creates rifts bigger than the Great Rift Valley. It pits people against people while the Masters on High live lavishly and laugh at the fools who bicker along party/ideological lines. When unity is usurped by simple ideology and partisan politics we have lost the battle against the enslavement by the Democrat/Republican alliance. Obama and Boehner and the rest of the politicians in power in the United States and everywhere are else are the biggest fascists to date. Their agendas are all the same: enslave the populace to the will of the elite and give the enslaved the illusion of freedom. We have been duped severely and we can only blame ourselves for falling for the nonsense that the political talking heads have spewed in our faces. It’s time to wake up from the slumber that has befallen our eyes. We need to condemn allegiances to political parties and ideology for the sheep-minded tactic that it is. No allegiances but to our fellow thinking human being who has cast aside the shackles of virtual oppression that is the political party/ideology system that has sunken its ravenous claws into our brains.

So when in our sordid little world did flipping burgers become a career? Probably since when people stopped having ambitions I. Life to be better than they are now which coincides to the lack of innovation in this country and a piss poor public education system that churns out drones rather than innovators. Why is it that minimum wage earners feel they are more entitled to more pay while the rest of us have to live on less than what they are asking fondue to pay freezes? I went to college for my profession, graphic design at $10.75 an hour that includes a pay freeze AND furloughs, so why should a minimum wage worker make more than me? Minimum wage is around for a reason:

a). With workers being paid cheaply it also means cheaper goods for the consumer. Once you raise the wages of an employee, especially to $15 that means higher priced goods which in turn means less customers and then that means layoffs of employees

b). It’s a way to spurn an individual to achieve a better quality of life by thinking to themselves, ” Wow this job sucks, I can do better!” And thus pushing them to do elevate themselves out of a crappy job.

But people these days have been raised, with the help of government propaganda, to believe they are entitled to the fruits unearned by them. What they have no understanding of is simple economics and what a $15 wage will mean in the long run. If they had an inkling of economics they wouldn’t be asking for such a wage. Of course, you will have the race card bearers saying that anyone against this wage hike is racist. On the contrary it’s actually racist to assume that a majority of minimum wage earners are mostly minority. Minimum wage jobs aren’t just populated by minorities but by whites as well. So remember that when you speak against minimum wage hikes that you are dealing with veiled racists who will project their racism on you.

Such extreme wage hikes will spell doom for more workers rather than save them from the so-called capitalist doom that socialists try to fill their heads with. With today’s technology it’s possible to cut out human labor and replace it with automation. All you have to do is go look in your nearest grocery and see the self checkout aisle where automation has become a staple. This is the future of the overpaid, low skilled worker that the socialists want: automation.

Much is to be said about socialist and the dangers it poses, as shown to us by history over and over again, but one can not ignore the absolute ignorance to history that many of these socialist groups hold. One of them comes to mind is Socialist Appeal, which is the publication organ of the Workers International League ( aTrotskyist based socialist organization), which many of it’s members regard Trotsky as the saviour of communism in the same religious zeal Christians have for Jesus. Not only do they have this zeal and ignorance of history, but they also twist history of socialism to suit their means and call anything that goes against the grain of their current beliefs as revisionism and capitalist propaganda. If that doesn’t make these folks seem heinous enough it is their undying support of Venezuela and it’s failed socialist program, which as we speak is degrading into the same Stalinist dictatorship that Trotskyists despise. They ignore the obvious evilness that Chavez and Maduro indulge in to bring about THEIR vision of a socialist utopia in order to prop their highly held faith that socialism can’t fail. As history has taught us that socialism does and will always fail because it lacks any common sense planning. It goes from point A to point C without any thought of how to properly go to point B first. The basic understanding of economics and how to create a sustainable system are lost to socialists because they would have to admit that a socialist economy can not and will never work. It is the basis of why China and many other surviving socialist nations have switched to market socialism it’s the only way that they can survive. If they stuck with an orthodox socialist economy then those nations would’ve collapses ages ago.

There is a reason why no true socialist nation exists today because it doesn’t work. It negates certain variables such as market forces, individual human beings and their wants, and how to maintain the dynamics of a successful economy. Though capitalism has a bad rep these days it is still the most thought system that improves with the times and generates surplus wealth for people thus providing a better standard of living for people. Socialism has yet to even produce a better standard of living for people and continually blaming it on capitalism is more than truth denial and a facade to escape the responsibility that socialists have in admitting their faults in their silly ideology.

Speaking of facades, the main facade that entices people to socialism is the idea of a ‘workers government’. Sounds awesome, but the reality is that it will never happen because once the elitists of the socialist organizations have their grubby hands on power they’ll rule IN THE NAME of the worker, but without letting the workers have any power whatsoever because workers aren’t ideologically homogenous. No, in fact there are workers who have Leftist to Right Wing views with Libertarianism thrown in between the cracks. So to give workers power would also giving those who are your ideological opponents power as well, which is something socialists will never do. No matter their claim to tolerance they truly have no tolerance for outside thinking. They’ll lambast and chastise you for your beliefs until you leave their cadre. That is the true face of socialism, an intolerant system that seeks sublimation of ALL people to the will of the so-called Workers State.

So whenever you encounter a socialist and get a whiff of bullshit you haven’t stepped in doggie landmines, it’s just the elitist, hipster spiel of the socialist thinking they are morally superior to you. Just remember the facts, they aren’t morally superior and wouldn’t even know the meaning of it because forcing people into a system isn’t moral much akin to forcing socialists into a capitalist system (hence I’m all in favor of communes based of ideologies) and their ignorance is much to grieve about when it comes to socialists. Never hate them, just feel sorry for them. They need it.

This country was built by men and women with the intestinal fortitude comprised of titanium and carbon fiber (aka very very strong) that you do no possess the slightest bit. In order to make up for your lack of guts and bravery you’ve become a bully towards the American People. You’re forcing us to buy your train wreck of a healthcare reform, which is VERY unAmerican. It goes against our values as Americans, which I don’t believe your Marxist mind can appreciate. You’re full of hatred and angst towards a country that has given you the chance to lead. Now you’re bullying us into your agenda, reshaping our society to something YOU want while ignoring the People and their will. You aren’t a leader of anyone or anything. You’re just a tyrant.

However, I must applaud, in the spirit of sarcasm of course, for dividing Americans based on race and socio-economic status (aka class). No President prior to your ascendency can EVER claim this “achievement” because it is solely yours to claim. You’ve done nothing to unite the People for the Restoration of American Pride. Instead, you’ve created racial tension among blacks, whites and hispanics and antagonism towards the rich just for simply being rich. Well, only those rich folk who disagree with you anyways because the rich who kiss your buttocks get a free pass from you. I doubt you would ever require Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon, Al Sharpton et al. to ever fork over “their fair share” as you expect from those who disagree with you. And YOU have the audacity to spit on capitalism when it has been that very capitalism you so despise that:

allows you to live lavishly like Nero in the Golden Palace,

for your wealthy supporters to keep throwing money into your machine of demagoguery,

and for you to play golf on parcels of land while we, your serfs, live from paycheck to paycheck.

You can thank Capitalism for ALL of that. You can keep up the act of pretending to be one of us, but you aren’t. You’re one of the 1% who think they can bend the laws of psychics and reality to their whim. You have a God-complex that even the Gods don’t have. A lot of us see through the ruse and are becoming increasingly tired of the lies and the BS you keep pulling out of your hat as if it were some magical cute rabbit. It isn’t. It’s loathsome and insults the intelligence of ALL Americans. Seriously, you should be ashamed of yourself.

The Hope and Change you promised in 2008 that captured many American attention, including myself, has been hopeless and a change that has been for the worst. You haven’t brought hope to a country that screamed it after 8 years of Bush. Instead, of changing America for the better you’ve expanded on the worst aspects of the Bush era while presenting yourself as someone of “transparency” and “accountability”. Your Administration is as transparent as a brick wall and definitely far from accountable when considering your flip on the debt limit issue and Benghazi. And while we are on the debt limit issue let me remind you what you said about the debt limit when your were a Senator:

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. … I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit. – March 16, 2006

So, can we officially state that your leadership is in fact a failure? Well, a lot of us know that answer already, as I’ve already pointed out earlier. You are a failure and as when one searched for George W. Bush on Google the word “failure” popped up as a result I believe this should be the same consequence of your Presidency that has shown a consistent ineptitude. I mean for the love of the Gods your ONLY Victory, the Affordable Care Act, has already begun to fail. How can you explain that? How can you be even proud of this monstrosity? How can the American people trust a government built and ran website that doesn’t work and then be expected to trust government ran healthcare? They can’t and they certain;y aren’t going to anytime soon now. The ACA should be considered a miserable failure already by your Administration because the problems will only grow. You might even gain more credibility by admitting defeat especially with your approval rating being on par with Bush towards the end of his Administration. However, you have no guts to do so. No one expects you to grow a set of guts anytime soon. So, with that we’ll simply keep pointing out the failure of your policies for you since you won’t take the initiative.

In conclusion, when I voted for you in 2008 with naive zeal that you could bring this country out the rut it was placed in I was elated when you won. I thought, “Man, this is history I’m witness and things will change!” Well, I’ll give you this, things did change, but definitely not for the best. It’s a really frustrating and agonizing 5 years to deal with. I gave you two years to get things fixed, but nothing of the sort happened, so I gave you another two years. Nope, still nothing and that is the reason why I swung more right landing me smack dab in the Centrist position of politics. I even voted for a Republican for the very first time in last years Presidential Election. Yup, Mitt Romney got my vote. I thought it was time for a change and to get someone who probably knows what they’re doing while being a real leader. So come 2014, I’ll make sure that NO Democrat will get my vote. Even the GOP is no better, but it certainly would be better than voting blatantly socialist Democrats who want nothing more than to destroy this country. I’m done with the Democrats and with Leftism in general. Thanks for the rude awakening that I definitely needed to clear the cobwebs of socialist thought that veiled my vision earlier in my adulthood. Thank you, Mr. President.
